Generally, after HeroesWorld moved to a new server, a problem appeared with logging in on my home computer. I can only log in fully from work or at home from a different Windows installation. But I try not to boot that Windows, it's too problematic, and I haven't gotten around to fixing it or reinstalling it. That's why, even now, to post the logs I need to boot up the other Windows and then come back to this one. Why would I bother, when you've already made the one and only correct Solomonic decision. Disqualifying someone because their opponent doesn't get in touch – that's nonsense, I've never encountered that before.

PS I'll send you screenshots from my ICQ tomorrow ;), just in case you think I'm lying.

Yeah, I believe you, I believe you. Kostya and I really discussed this decision for a long time. From anyone else, but from you, we didn't expect such a "forfeit". Besides, your unconfirmed report had been hanging around for ages, which became another "proof of forfeiting" the tournament (confirm your reports, gentlemen ;) ). You had no chance of advancing to the FB, you're silent in ICQ, you don't respond to messages. I was even angry about what kind of example you're setting for the younger players :o In short, everything added up, and that's how this Solomonic decision was made :)
PS - sometime in your free time, ask Darkello and Cobra about their game, how the two of them tormented the admin, didn't even let him eat in peace. Now those are people who definitely aren't shy about writing about their problems with their opponent :D
